Norkin On Sondheim
Sam Norkin is that other theater caricaturist. He says he has seen more rehearsals than anyone in
the theater, more shows that went out of town for tryouts never to return to Broadway, and that his
drawings have been seen by more readers than any other caricaturist...

Assassins is about how society interprets the American Dream, marginalizes outsiders and rewrites and sanitizes its collective history. "Something Just Broke" is a major distraction and plays like an afterthought, shoe horned simply to appease. The song breaks the dramatic fluidity and obstructs the overall pacing and climactic arc which derails the very intent and momentum that makes this work so compelling...

I found [the Sondheim Celebration's Company] to be completely delightful. Almost all of the numbers excited and energized me, and most of the scenes were about as pitch-perfect as you can get. I just sat there with a big smile on my face the whole show.
